WHISPERS.

You know the patriarchal-looking Dr..
MANN, of course? Everybody knows
him and everybody likes him, too, by
the way. Well, l had all extremely
good story about the venerable doctor
whispered into my ear the other day.
1t seems the doctor is remarkably fond
of tapioca pudding and thereby hangs
the tale. He Sauntered into B.GGS' drug
store the other day where that expert
enced professional druggist, Assignee
LEE is in charge, and observed low
glass jar labeled ''TapiOca'' and filled
to the top with what appeared to be his
favorite article of food, but which was
really gum arabic. Now as any one
knows gum arabic has adhesive and
other qualities which hardly recon-
mend it as desirable article of food.
The doctor observed the delicious APP
pearing white fragments and desire
for tapioca pudding overcame him.
'What delicious appearing tapioca," he
exclaimed. Druggist LEE, alive to the
interests of his newly assumed calling,
of course declared there was none better
in the market. weigh me out two
pounds" continued the doctor, s.Fn
have tapioca pudding for dinner" and
so it was done. The supposed tapioca
was placed in soak. 1t increased won
derfully in bulk, but yet the doctor sus-
pected not. 1t was placed over the fire
and diligently boiled. Such curious
tapioca never was seen. 1t insisted
upon adhering to the sides of the vessel,
and its clinging tendencies became each
moment more marked. The experienced
cook, however, succeeded in extracting
enough for the pudding finally and it
was placed before the doctors glisten-
ing eyes. His mouth fairly watered in
anticipation. He plunged into it Wig
orOuSly, and in moment
goodly portion of it had disap-
peared. Then doubt. gradually grow
ing into a dread certainty, overcame
him. Investiga ton only confirmed his
worst fears and the doctor speedily
sought retired spot where he could
mediate ON the subject of gum arabic
and assignee druggists without inter-
ruption. He-does not smile kindly, as
was once his wont, when he passes

COLLAPSE OF BLUE LAWS.

The New York blue laws have col
lapSed, or practically so. The entering
wedge has been made, and it is only
now question of time when New York
will experience return to the sswide
open" method of things. The court of
appeals has reversed the decision of tile
supreme court and has declared that hO-
tel and eating house keepers may sell
liquor to their guests with meals.
The possibilities this admission pre-
sents to would-be evaders of the Sunday
law are obvious. That the decis-
ion is better than gold mine
to the hotel keepers is equally
evident. 1t is only necessary for
for those who are vinously OF spiritu-
OuSly inclined to order few sandwiches
in hotel private dining room to obtain
the privilege of securing at the same
time as much liquid refreShment as
they may desire. twill be the old Fal-
stafiian story of pennywOrth of blood
and huge quantity of sack,
but it will be an arrangement not with
out advantage. Though the amount of
drinking will undoubtedly be great, it
will be done in privacy, and the argus
eye of the law and its blue coated min
ions can hardly penetrate within the
walls, much less beneath the seelusion of
the dining. tables friendly shelter. 1t
may be that the law will be called upon
to define the exact meaning of the
meals with which liquor may be had,
but it is quite likely that almost any ho-
tel or eating-hOuse keeper can furnish a
poor enough meal to come within the
limits of any purse and yet be good
enough to have standing in law. Board
ing-hOuse Keepers in other cities besides
New York have solved that problem
long ago.
Then, too, what is to prevent the
drinker from having concealed recep-
tacle beneath his clothes, into which he
can pour gallon or two of liquor, to be
drank afterwards at his leisure, while
he is munching his sandwich? To an
ingenious man the construction of the
law opens up numerous possibilities,
and as there are many ingeniuS men i'll
New York we expect to see Sunday
drinking carried on in that city to as
great all extent as ever.

SALTWATER HAPPENINGS.

Late on Saturday night frame dwell
ing near the Staples farm known as one
of the twin houses" was discovered on
fire, and with its contents was quickly
consumed. Although within the city
limits it was SO remote from a water
supply that no alarm was turned in, and
the department did not make the run.
The building burned was owned by
ElmOre Lowell, and was valued at $500;
insured for $500. 1t was occupied as a
residence and cigar factory by William
Schultz, cigarmaker, who loses some
$500 ON stock and all his household
goods, and has but small insurance.
No clue to the origin of the fire exists, as
the family had been away since noon on
Saturday, but it is thought to be the.
work of an ineendiary.
About $50 people left on the $50 a.
m. Duluth train ON yesterday to join
the Mannerchor society picnic to Forest
lake. The change of time from 800 to
$50 a. m, prevented many who desired
from going. and score or two of disap-
pointed people assembled at the later
hour only to return home again. From
the looks of the baggage car there was
no fear of famine on the trip.
Frederick Hempftling, an aged Ger
man, father-in-law of the proprietor of
the ST. Paul house, died at 6 a. m. yes
terday, at the hotel named, of apopleXy,
aged eighty-two. The body has been
embalmed and will be forwarded to Red
Wing, his former home, to-day, where
other relatives also reside, for interment

A POLITICAL BLIND.

There is an apparent tlnge OF insanity
in the extraordinary zeal displayed by
the Republican leaders and organs in
working the battle-fag episode. They
have made it the occasion to unfuri the
bloody shirt again, which they are
waving with vigor that would do
credit to more creditable cause. And
yet there is method i'll this madness.
The Republican leaders have a purpose
to accomplish by all this ciamor they
are raising over this order of the presi-
dents concerning the battle flags. Mr..
SHERMAN struck the key note of the
Republican campaign when he said the
next national contest was to be fought
on the tariff issue. Mr.. SHERMAN was
correct in his statement, but the alac-
rity the Democrats exhibited in
joining issue with the Republic
ans on the tariff alarmed the Re-
publican leaders. They soon dis
covered that the cause of protection
which is to be espoused by the Republi-
cans is not popular with the masses of
the people. They have not abandoned
the cause but they recognize the inn
portance of keeping q it in the back
ground until the presidential election is
over. They find it absolutely neces-
sary to have some other issue in the
front in order to conceal the Repub-
lican protective policy as much as posi-
BILE. Nothing else being in sight they
have in the extremity of desperation re-
sorted to the bloody shirt. They hope
TO use the ensanguined garment as
blind to cover protection in the-expecta-
ton of keeping the Republicans in col
umn until the presidential election is
over. Then if they succeed in electing
their ticket and securing the triumph of
protection they will laugh at their
dupes. That is the meaning of all this
insane clamor about the battle-ffags.
The people of the Western and North
western states will be wise if they look
into the purposes of the Republicanslead-
ers before allowing themselves to be car
ried away with any such cheap political
clap-trap. The tariff is the issue now
before the American people and it is
going to be kept in sight until the cleo
ton is over,

BAR. / Their

Have the police the right to stop or
interfere with the transportation of the
United States mailS?" asks a CORE
spondent with show of indignation
that policeman should have halted the
driver of 4 mail wagon who was driving
his team down Third street at break
neck speed the other day. The police
authorities have not the right to stop or
Interfere with the transportation of the
United States mails, but they have the
right to make the mail carriers observe
The municipal ordinances, who, if they
fail to do so, are just as liable to arrest
and punishment as any other class of
citizens. A United States soldier is as
much liable to arrest for drunkenness
0r disorderly conduct on the street as
citizen would be. The fact that a man
wears the uniform of the United
States or is in the service of
the federal government does not ex-
empt him from the penalties of
The civil law. A municipal gov
eminent has the right to prescribe that
railroad trains shall not run at dan
gerouS rate of speed within the corpora
ton limits. The fact that railroad
train is carrying the United States mail
does not exempt it from the provisions
Of the municipal law, And so if wagon
is carrying the mail from the pOstotfice
to the depot. it must be driven through
the streets in exact accordance with
the provisions of the munich
pal ordinance relating to driving
in the streets. 1t is no excuse to say
that the mail wagon is late and it is nee
eSSary to drive fast in order to reach the
train. 1t is the duty of the postmaster
to have the mail made up in ample time
to reach the outgoing trains without
violating the city ordinances. Uncle
SAM is pretty b g man and very nice
old fellow, but when he comes to st.
Paul he has to conduct himself accord
ing to the regulations laid down for the
government of st. Paul people.

TRUE FRATERNITY.
How Union Regiment Solves the
Flag Question.

Baltimore Sun.
Despite the racket created by the polit-
ical workers in Grand Army circles
over the proposition to. return to the
various Southern states the captured
Confederate flags, with true soldierly
sentiment the Seventy-firSt regiment of
the Philadelphia brigade proposes to
SignaliZe its reunion with Pickett diviS-
ion of Confederate forces at. Gettys-
burg next month by returning to the
survivors of the latter command the
three flags captured during the mem
Orable engagement which it is the inten-
ton of the opposing forces to celebrate
by fraternal gathering. With this
view, Col. Jnhn W. Frazier,
who commanded the Seventy
first regiment at the battle of
Gettysburg, has written a letter to
President Cleveland designating the
flags desired, and asking whether it is
possible for the president to return
them to the Regiment Association of the
Seventy-first Pennsylvania volunteers.
The request has been referred to the
secretary of war. 1t is now settled that
at least $50 of Pickett'S men will be the
guests of the Philadelphia brigade at
Gettysburg July 2, 8, and 4. Gov. Lee
was invited. but will be unable to at
tend. He writes that he regrets that
prior conflicting engagements will pre-
vent his presence on the occasion
(which will bring together the survivors
of such opposing historical organiza-
tons, and where such an opportunity
will be presented to honor American
valor in the union of the Blue and the

previous engagement will prevent his
attendance. and adds: "Such reunion

NOTHING TO FEAR

Nervous people who have been appre-
hensive that the recent collapse of the
wheat gamblers and the consequent
failures of firms and banks that were
involved would result in general finan-
cial panic, will find a nervine in the as
surance given by Secretary FAIRCHILD

a hand on the treasury vaults ready to
unlock the doors whenever the necessity
may require it. At moments notice
the secretary of the treasury can I'M
loose $50, 0OO, 900, which will be suffi-
cient amount to form breakwater
against any jobs that the Wall street
gamblers can set up. There is no panic
imminent, for there is nothing that can
produce one. The failure of a few banks
and business firms who have been dab
bling in wheat deals will not affect the

No Settlement Expected.

PITTsBURG, June ga settlement
of the wages dispute at the conference
OF iron manufacturers and warehouse
men tomorrow is not anticipated.
Since Friday night Secretary Martin, of
the Amalgamated association, has re-
eelyed kilograms from over fifty lodges,
including the scale committee, to stand
hrn for the 10 per cent. advance for the
men IN the finishing departments as
well as the puddlers. In an interview
this evening Mr.. Martin stated that the
committee would go into the conference
tomorrow with no more power than at
the last meeting. They were willing to
withdraw the demands for the extras"
but would make no other concessions.
Inc manufacturers are still determined
to resist the advance to the finishers
and assert that they will close down
their mills on the first of the month if
the W0rkmen insist upon their scale.

FREEDOMS JUBILEE.

The last week has been one OF royal
pageantry in England The celebration
of the queens jubilee has been an occa-
sion of gorgeous magnificence. But it
is an event the like of which will never
be witnessed again. Taking the pro-
greSs of Democratic sentiment in Eng
land within the last fifty years as a
basis it is safe to predict that fifty years
from now there will be no British mon
archy in existence. When Queen VIC
ToRIA assembled the British throne half
a century ago British subjects still
clung to the superstition relating to
the divine right of kings. But that has
all passed away. Of the millions who
participated in the royal demonstration
last week not one believed in the super
stition which has held the European ma
lions in bondage for so many centuries.
To-day VICTORIA is only queen in
name and by sufferance. She dare not
assert that her crown is hedged about
with divinity, lest the very ex-
preston should cause mutiny
among her subjects. 1t is beause
that public sentiment is of
slower growth in England than in
France that VICTORIA's jewels like
EUGENE's have not long ago orna-
mented some pawnbroker's shop. But
is because that democratic sentimentit
has been of slower growth in England
that is all the more enduring. 1t is tax
ing deeper root than in France, and
when it once reaches that point that
nothing short of a government for the
people and by the people will satisfy
the British population, republicanism
will be established on an everlasting
foundation. The idea of local self gov
eminent is taking possession of all the
nations of the earth and it continues to
grow as the world moves. The demon
strations of the last week only indicate
that when the revolution to be accom-
plished by the masses against the
classes in England does come, it will be
a peaceable one. 1t will not be brought
about by dynamite, but will come as the
result of increasing intelligence among
the English people. There will be pa
rade and something of a hurrah when
the Prince of Wales is crowned, but the
next genuine demonstration to compare
with that of last week, will be freedoms
great jubilee when Great Britain passes
out from under monarchical rule and be-
comes confederation of free states.

Gen. DRUM has learned something
from his battle-flag experience. He has
learned that the law OF 1914, which hat
fallen into inocuous deSuetude, requires
that all flags captured in battle shall be
turned over to the federal government
for preservation. Now that the old law
has undergone revival by recent oc-
currences he is going to enforce it. He
is preparing to send out circulars to the
governors of all the states with instruc-
lions to Immediately return to the war
department all rebel flags that are in
possession of their respective state gov
ernmentS. OF course there. will be an
other kick, but as the law has been in
